1. How the Tutorials are Conducted:
The tutorials are supported by web pages for each class which contain all information necessary for that class. These class pages list the course syllabus, reading and writing assignments and other work, announcements relevant to that class, and additional resources for the students to pursue; the student has access at all times to the class page. Many of the classes also each have a special forum on which they post work. All registered students and their parents subscribe to Schola's email announcement list, and necessary information and announcements are sent out via that mailing list. Evaluation policy No grades are assigned for either the papers or for the tutorial as a whole. For those parents who desire it, assistance will be provided in determining a grade for the student's semester work. Evaluations will be provided upon request. 2. A Recommended
High
School Level Curriculum
Below is the
sequence of Schola courses I recommend to give your
student a grounding in those things that are
important in a solid Christian liberal arts
education: great literature and history, the
classical languages, rhetoric, and theology ("the
queen of the sciences"). It is assumed that the
student has had no languages before (although that
would certainly be helpful), and that mathematics
and science are being provided. Logic, Introduction
to Great Books, and Latin courses (intro through
advanced reading) are available from Artesian
Wells Classical Tutorials (Aaron and Emily
Wells) and are highly recommended. The fundamental prerequisites for this sequence are good reading habits and some familiarity with the outlines of basic ancient, medieval, and early modern history. It will also be good, though not necessary, for your student to have studied logic and music, and it will be very helpful to supplement the Rhetoric course with a local speech or debate organization. Click the links for a course description and explanation of each course's place in classical education. Pre-Schola:
